Best incontinence wear for men that cannot be removed by the patient?

Dad pulls his Depends down and urinates on floor in the residence. Need some type of incontinence wear that cannot be ripped off or pulled down.

Get him diapers a put them on backwards - tabs to the back.

If you can get a little laugh there is a guy at the facility who sometimes will go commando. He has not used the bathroom like this, yet ( he also will roll in the floor or get out of his chair). He will also throw things as well, not at people though.

The answer may not be the type of disposal underwear.
It might be addressing the anxiety and emotions that increase the behavior.
* It could be anxiety caused by fear, feeling alone, confused.
* Perhaps the person needs more attention, touch - ?

From my experience, unless medicated
or
(arm) restraints - which you DO NOT want to do, there is nothing that will totally keep a person from removing disposal underwear.

* Try doubling up on them.

* Consider too - if they feel itching - and why. Perhaps they need prescribed medication for sensitive skin.
* Perhaps they are too hot or feel too hot.
(I do not know if it is common across the board, however with dementia, some people prefer to be nude or w/o clothes (and then they get cold) which needs to be monitored. Perhaps the lower body could be unclothed and a sweater on - this doesn't answer your question although it is important to understand the behavior and address it as best you can.

* If medicated, what are the side effects (i.e., itching, temperature changes.

* Sometimes, the only avenue is to have the bed protected and let the person do what they need to do, along with considering the above.

I was going to suggest a onesy as well. Great for cooler weather as well. Summer time, it might be more problematic. But as long as they are in an air conditioned place I would think that would work...you'd just need to figure out how to keep them from unzipping it.

I looked at the anti-strip clothing suggested by cwillie, and that looks like a good option. Even has short sleaves. Might even be a better option than a onesy, as the anti-strip clothing zips up the back.

There are adult "Onesies"
Anti strip clothing
Even a "Union Suit" would work. (one piece long underwear)
Overalls
Jump suit (the type that you sometimes see mechanics wear.)

What you need is anti strip clothing
